THE Game - The R.E.D Album *** OFFICIAL ALBUM DISCUSSION THREAD **

[Duncan21]

Not out here, but maybe in your lil area it is. That song gets 0 play on the radio or in the clubs. I saw the video on mtv a couple times and thought it would be big for him. (Its only so many songs Chris Brown can be on that will become hits) The world is a lot bigger than your lil area dude, stop thinking that cause you hear something on your lil country radio stations that it must be big every where else.

Getwitcha

Its on over in pa all the time to.

I'm not speaking on international numbers or record-sales in Sweeden, I'm going by the RIAA who tabulate sales here in the United States and award platinum certifications.

RIAA can be slow yo update sales to, if artist doesnt push for a proper update

Billboard has albums reported more platinum then RIAA, i think RIAA is sloppy with updating if the labels dont ask after couple years

No need for profanity and name-calling.....why call me a "niggas".

There's no need to pull numbers out of my rectum, the visual is a bit homo-erotic for my taste.

Based on their data Games debut sold 2 million domestically and his last album sold 600,000 domestically.

Now if you are from another planet or you live in Candyland you might say his album sales declined 60% or that The Red Album is a flop based on 100,000 first week sales but if you attempt to do so it will be viewed as misguided anger directed towards an artist who said disparaging remarks towards another rapper who many fans have an unhealthy adoration for.

a album that took ova 2yrz 2 make sellin 100k da 1st wk wit GAY AZZ DRE on it is not a flop 2 u?

 

[Already Home_17]

ask jay z.....drop your shit at the right time when there is no comp

competition as in who? cuz jay had dropped albums on the same day as
nickleback*who does great numbers*
snoop dogg
g-unit*at the time everything 50 touched was gold*
missy elliot
mariah carey
etc. and has still outsold them in the first week

we can all agree Dr dre seems to lost his hit making ability all around

No need to act overly-sensitive after attempting to type in a condescending manner either, but that don't stop you from doing it.

If you don't think it's a flop, you will once this album falls off the charts before selling 300K, but keep being delusional and thinking the west coast winning.

Why are you still mentioning G-Unit fans? 50 flopped with his last album, Game flopping with his current album.

According to your math: Game has seen a 60% drop in album sales so I can't take you seriously anymore,

I don't deal in delusions, I deal in the facts and when a West-Coast artist can sell 100,000 albums first week I salute them....especially when that artist was the last one to bring a plaque back home to our region in 2008 with "LAX" (black eyed peas don't count).

Pot of Gold is number 3 on 106 and Park, but i guess BET is my own little world huh. Stop making fucking excuses and at no point did i say what i heard on the radio (hot 97, power 105, power 106,etc) was a indicator for the whole world.

Ya'll need to stop the fucking excuses, if it was someone you didn't like you would be the first to call the shit a flop.

 

[lamontbdc]

but hey numbers dont lie.....how you got the numbers might but hey who cares

 

[Gee_has_hot_picture]

damn if da west is dependin on sisqo fa itz shyne itz safe 2 say da WEST IS DEAD! lolllll

hip hop genre has passed, a new genre will take over by 2015

peaks and valleys its falling off mainstream slowly, some niggas say thats good, but less kids being influence by music leads to less trying to be next great artist

hiphop dying like metal did, like rock did

the youth populated by quick 1 hit wonders, so until a new nas comes along, its gonna fade away to pop with raps

 

[thewave19]

Big budget, low sales... its really going to drop in the upcoming weeks

 

[usmarin3]

BET isnt gonna push ur sales compared to others like mtv much music

His video is on Sucker Free also

 

[H-Rap 180]

LOL..fam im just bein real cuz 98k da 1st wk fa a album that took ova 2yrz 2 make is a FLOP!

This is madness.

How can you label 100k in 2011 a flop just because it took 2 years to make??

Y'all are going to box yourselves in so that every album that dosent go Gold will be a flop and you will end up calling 99% of the albums that drop "flops".

Your intense hatred for poor Game is based on his affiliation with the Munkee & the Hunkee.

It doesn't matter which way you cut it, Game is Nelly,Ja Rule,DMX,etc status now. How do you lose that much of your fanbase?

If we are going by industry standards then Game has had a more stellar career than 95% of all artists.

4 albums:

The Documentary = 2.5 million domestically
The Doctors Advocate = 1 million domestically
L.A.X = 600,000 domestically
The Red Album = 100,000 first week

In comparison if we look at Kanye West discography you can see his sales have decreased with each album also similar to Game.

JayZ peaked with Hard Knock life selling 5 million domestically and his most recent album BP3 is at 2 million.....that's not a major drop off if you adjust according to the climate.

I want to see West-Coast artists succeed so that we can eat and it saddens me that more of my enlightened brothers don't feel the same.

 

[H-Rap 180]

My math is factual, going from 240k to 96k in first week sales is a 60% decline in first week sales from LAX to RED.

You obviously deal in and live in delusions since you said RED was on pace to go Gold in this very thread. Why must you make me make you look stupid?

You only make yourself look stupid when you compare first week sales in 2008 to the first week sales in 2011 and based on that info call a project a flop when 100,000 is the first week and the previous album total was 600,000

Most stupid people base their entire arguments around first week sales instead of total sales.

The Red album def has the ability to go Gold if the present single keeps picking up steam, and tho it may be frustrating to you it's a good look for us.

usmarin stop worrying about game

lil wayne about blow wtt out the water,

 

[it's me bi***es]

It doesn't matter which way you cut it, Game is Nelly,Ja Rule,DMX,etc status now. How do you lose that much of your fanbase?

Its not that he lost that much fanbase his shit leaked and im one of tha guilty ones that rather download than buy, and on tha real i never heard pot of gold till i downloaded it and im in L.A! So 100k in this economy is a W in my book...
